On the topic, imagine how fast the RAVEN must be, especially when it doesnt need to use the mirage colloid cloaking device. The Freedom and Justice can pull 7.4G and 8G, respectively, despite them weighing over 70 tons.

A RAVEN without the powerhungry PS armour is going to be scary fast.

Any ship that has it MS oriented the vertically would also recover them the same direction. The Musai late type for example, is like this.

but frankly, I am not sure it has any actual benefit. The universe depends on the idea that long range target acquisition being terrible, to the point where even a giant nuclear powered robot cant be hit reliably. If reducing cross section facing the enemy is such an important factor in battle, the enemy would have good enough sensors to instakill your giant robots.
